eferring to Figs. 3 and 4, it will be seen that all of these webs areinclined in the same direction, and they tendto' impart a e water aboutthe axis A serles of radlal blades 17 is connected with the shaft aboveportion 18 which portion at the upper and held by a nut 19.

Referring to Fig. 2,

it will be seen that the passages 11. inclinein a direction to cause thewater to impinge against the blades, almost perpendicularly as they passthe passages, and will rotate the shaft 12. A soap chamthe lower end ofthe er being a cup-shaped 7 has a reduced portion 21 which passesthrough an opening in the top of the chamber and'is engaged by a nut 22below the top of the chamber.

he soap chamber has openings or ports shown at 2 and 3, the the soapchamber.

will be seen that the bearingv 14. Between or extension 25 on the 23 inits upper end, which register with the space between the webs 16 topermit water to flow from the body 1 of the casing into Referring toFig. 1, it

bearing 14 is spaced of the enlarged porthe casing 1, and that ed attheir outer edges by an annular web 24. This web tapers toand theopenings are 0 between the lower end of the web andthe the web and thewall there is an annular space within which engages an annular rib upperend of the soap chamber,.the adjacent walls of the rib and an externalannular to completely'rec'eive silient material. lnternal annular groowill expand and will I of the web fitting each other.

The soap chamber has near its lower end groove 26 which is formed by aninternal bead and of a depth a split ring 27 of re- The brush body 5 hasan v'e 28 with which this contracted into the the chamber over the ring.Then the brush is in place the ring ock the parts together.

eferring to Fig. 1, it will be seen that that portion of the internalsurface of the brush. above the groove 28 is beveled in both directionsto facilitate the placing and the re- I key 30 on the soap chamber, toprevent relapipe 8 is connected with the head tive'angular movement ofthe brush with re spect tothe soap chamber. Referring to Fig. 1, it willbe seen that the brush is approximately cup-shaped, provided withannular series of bristles 31 on its side wall and with other bristles31 at its end, and that passages 32 are provided leading from theinterior' of the soap .chamber and brush to the end of the brush,delivering among the tufts of bristles.

Inside the passages 32 the internal surface of the end of the cup-shapedbrush is rounded as shown at 33. A hollow handle 34 is 4,'the handleexrtending radially.- therefrom, providing a means for supporting thewasher.

In operation, the dishes to be washed are placed in a. suitablecontainer, and the inlet connected with a source of water supply asthrough the medium of a rubber tube. The water flows through this pipeand through the passage 9 into the annular passage 10 and by way ofinclined ports 11 intothe motor chamber where it impinges against theblades 17 and causes the motor to rotate. The waste water passes betweenthe ribs 15 and on down to the casing 1 and between the ribs 16 into thesoap chamber.

From here the water laden with the soap I passes through the ports 32into the bristles of the handle, the 40 and onto the dishes to bewashed. By means brush may be brought into engagement with every part ofthe dishes, which while they are sluiced with water, containing thedetergent are also brushed with the bristles,- thoroughly cleaning thesame.

In practice, the blades 17 will be of brass, as will also the shaft 12.The soap chamber, and casing will be of aluminum. When it is desired toremove the brush, it is only necessary to draw the same longitudinallywith respect to the shaft. The bevel springs the ring inward, and thebrushmay thus be removed.
